[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you supporting his speech are missing the point.  The reason so many are upset at the obvious misogyny is the fact that he addressed his comments ONLY at the women.  Nowhere does he say he bets the men are looking forward to their roles of fatherhood, caregiver, or homemaker.  He even said he was speaking directly to the women regarding the "diabolical" lies they've been told.
If he had addressed his comments regarding family and children being paramount to BOTH the men and the women, sure...fine.  but he specifically called out the young ladies in the audience who had just earned their college degrees.
Such wealth and privilege.   Of course, everyone is in the same financial position, right?[/quote]

He literally talked about men being present in the home.[/quote]
lol.. "present".. So, they just have to be at home but not actually parent because that's the woman's job.

If you think his message was the same for men, why didn't he just say to everyone about their "vocation" and looking forward to being a parent and spouse?  Instead, he specifically called out women in his speech with respect to that line, and he told women that they had been lied to.

To men, he told them to embrace their "masculinity", whatever that means.

His speech is mired in misogyny.  You can try to explain away "what he really" meant all you want, but we heard what he said.  [/quote]
